Nike Juniper Trail 3 review: what runners say
Fit
True to size; runners with wider feet or those who prefer extra toebox room should consider going up a half size. The entry opening is narrow and requires fully unlacing to get the foot in.
Feel
Comfy Ride midsole feels firm, with response concentrated in the heel. Minimal energy return through the midfoot and toe-off. Optimized for heel strikers.
Best for
Entry-level shoe for light trail and short distances. Not suited for wet or muddy technical terrain. A starting point in trail, not a choice for experienced runners.
Weak points
Midsole too firm and unresponsive compared to the previous version. Upper features a stiff mesh that presses on the toes during flexion. Heel entry is difficult.
